NHHS grad recognized on state level for jazzKyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

In just two years sinceearning his high school diplo-ma in North Haven, 2010North Haven High Schoolgraduate and Hartt School ofMusic sophomore StephenCusano is establishing him-self locally and statewide.

In June, the drummerhelped organize a concertwith other local musicians onNorth Haven’s Town Green tobenefit the high school musicprogram, and its director,Ken Tedeschi, Cusano’s for-mer teacher.

Following that, Cusano andfellow members of the Con-necticut-based jazz band theIssac Young Quartet tookhome a top honor at the FirstAnnual Connecticut MusicAwards. Held at Hartford’sBushnell Theater on Sep. 13,the award show recognizedthe quartet in the category ofBest Jazz Band in this state.

“We found out that we werenominated around August,”said Cusano, who playsdrums in the four-persongroup. “I couldn’t even be-lieve it then. Then, when wewere at the Bushnell, it wasunbelievable. All the net-working we were able to do.And then, when they an-nounced our name, I was sosurprised. I thought, ‘Did wejust win that?’”

For two years, Cusano hasdrummed with Issac Young,who plays piano and saxo-phone. Their working togeth-er took a bit of providence

and time. “My uncle lives in a house

in Hamden and rents the topfloor,” Cusano said. “Oneyear, Issac rented the topfloor. My uncle is also a drum-mer and he hooked the two ofus up.”

Young — who graduatedfrom the Hartt School severalyears ago — must have beenimpressed by the younger

musician. “Two years afterwe met, he called me up andsaid, ‘Let’s play,’” Cusanosaid. “And that’s been it.”

Cusano and Young have

performed together for twoyears . Two other members inthe quartet — John Dostouon base and Jesse Combs onguitar — have been in for ayear. Like many bands, thereis at times a rotating roster ofmembers.

“It’s a real interesting,unique band project,” Cu-sano said. “Issac writes allhis own music. It’s a new typeof jazz, jazz fusion. He has areal vision. It’s very interest-ing for me to play what he’shearing in his head.”

“We’re an improvising-based band,” he added.“That’s what I like about it.Every time we sit down, youtruthfully don’t know what’sgoing to happen. We have thefirst 34 beats written outahead of time. But after that,we get to the solos, and every-one shows their differenttake on the song. It’s fun see-ing whose going to tell whatstory musically each time weplay together.”

The First Annual Con-necticut Music Awards wereorganized by Chip McCabe, amarketing and productionspecialist who works withthe state Advocate newspa-pers and other media chan-nels. McCabe helped dissemi-nate ballots to the public,who voted for favorite statebands in over 16 categories,

including rock, blues, jazz,hip-hop, reggae, punk, coun-try, metal and folk. “Theevent was put together sowell,” Cusano said.

Cusano believed that vot-ers recognized his band fromtheir performances in clubs,restaurants and other venuesin Manchester, New Haven,Hartford and elsewhere.

Next up for the Issac YoungQuartet is a new CD. “We’regoing to go into recordingsoon,” Cusano said. “We’regoing to put down a record.Then we’re going to get a tourgoing. I hope we can keep thisthing rolling.”

In the meantime, Cusanotakes college classes at theHarrt School, while also serv-ing as an instructor foryounger musicians.

“I teach a number of NorthHaven kids from my house inNorth Haven,” he said. “Icould definitely see myselfteaching.”

What is geography?By Paul Colella

Special to The Citizen

Imagine a typical morn-ing. Youmight waketo the musicof a Britishrock band onyour Japan-ese clock ra-dio. Perhapsthe shirt youput on wasmade inHong Kong. The oranges forthe juice you drink at break-fast may have come fromBrazil or Florida. The wheatfor your cereal was probablygrown on North America’s

Great Plains.Do you have time to read

an article in the newspaper(perhaps made from Canadi-an wood pulp) about air pol-lution in the United States?How rushed you are may de-pend on how far you livefrom your school or your job.Finally, just as you step out-side, it starts to rain. A lowpressure system that formedthousands of kilometersaway sends you runningback inside for your Tai-wanese umbrella.

As these examples show,each of us is linked in manyways to other parts of theworld. Thinking geographi-cally means thinking about

such links. As a field ofknowledge, geography is thestudy of the earth’s surfaceand the processes that shapeit; of places and their con-nections to other places; andof the relationships betweenpeople and environments.Just as important, geogra-phy is a point of view, a wayof looking at the world interms of its interconnec-tions.

To begin thinking geo-graphically, you need to havecuriosity about the worldand how it functions. Geog-raphy has much more to dowith asking questions andsolving problems than itdoes with memorizing factsand figures. The same kindsof questions you might askyourself about places arealso starting points for geog-raphers.

For instance, a label tellsyou that your shirt wasmade in Hong Kong. Whereis Hong Kong? As a novicegeographer, you would first

locate Hong Kong on a map.What is Hong Kong like?And how is it that so muchof the clothing we wearcomes from so far away? Toanswer these questions, youwould consider the physicaland human factors that dis-tinguish Hong Kong fromother places. For example,you would want to knowwhat economic and politicalcharacteristics have placedHong Kong in the worldmarket. You would also wantto know what factors havemade trading with HongKong desirable and afford-able. The movement ofgoods, as well as of peopleand information, from oneplace to another is a majorinterest of geographers.

Geographers study theways that people interactwith their environments. Af-ter reading the newspaperarticle about air pollution,you might wonder about theeffects of such pollutionboth locally and worldwide.

How might it be damaginglakes and forests — and en-dangering people’s health?

Dividing the earth into re-gions — areas that have cer-tain things in common —helps geographers see theworld in terms of similari-ties and differences. For in-stance, the wheat for yourcereal was grown on theGreat Plains, a region ofNorth America extendingfrom Canada deep into theUnited States. A geographerwould want to know whatphysical and economic con-ditions make the region suit-able for harvesting wheat.

Geography is one of theoldest sciences. Among theearliest geographers wereGreeks who lived more than2,000 years ago. The term“geography” comes from aGreek word that means writ-ing about the earth. In thepast centuries, explorers,mapmakers, scientists, and

Tax plans key in Senate raceBy Susan HaighAssociated Press

HARTFORD - The state’stwo candidates for the U.S.Senate agree many of the nu-merous tax cuts set to expireon Jan. 1 should remain onthe books, but they part wayswhen it comes to extendingcertain reductions forwealthier taxpayers.

The Tax Policy Centerwarned this week that tax-payers across the incomespectrum will be hit with taxincreases totaling more than$500 billion if the presidentand federal lawmakers fail torenew a laundry list of expir-ing cuts.

The roster includes taxcuts enacted during the ad-ministrations of PresidentBarack Obama and formerPresident George W. Bush.They include higher rates,reduced deductions andcredits and an exemption forthe alternative minimumtax. It works out to be an av-erage tax increase of nearly$3,500 per household, accord-ing to the center.

Democratic U.S. Rep.Chris Murphy and Republi-can Linda McMahon sup-port extending many of thetax reductions, including a 2-percentage-point reductionin Social Security taxes thatwas championed by Obama,

despite the fact it was sup-posed to be temporary andthere appears to be little con-versation in Washington,D.C., about extending it.

According to the reportfrom the Tax Policy Center,allowing the 2-percentage-point payroll tax to expirewould reduce workers’ pay-checks by $115 billion nextyear.

McMahon’s spokesmanTodd Abrajano told The As-sociated Press this week,“She would not let that ex-pire.”

Murphy said Thursdaythat he supports “extendingthat tax cut and finding away to make sure that SocialSecurity remains solvent.”

Taxes are a hot issue in theelection for the seat being va-cated by the retiring Sen. Joe

Lieberman, an independent.A Quinnipiac UniversityPoll, which shows the race isa dead heat, found voters areevenly split on which of thecandidates better under-stands the economic prob-lems of people in Connecti-cut. Forty-six percent saidMcMahon while 45 percentsaid Murphy.

Murphy has criticizedMcMahon’s plan for keepingthe Bush-era tax cuts inplace for higher-incomeearners. In his TV ads, he al-leges McMahon, a wealthyformer wrestling executive,would personally benefit by$7 million. He argues thatthat money would be betterspent paying off debt andfunding programs for themiddle class, such as educa-tion, job training, college af-

fordability, infrastructureand job creation.

Like Obama, he supportskeeping cuts in place only forfamilies earning less than$250,000 a year.

“You don’t grow jobs byjust giving tax cuts to mil-lionaires,” Murphy said at asmall discussion with severalHartford-area businessmenon Thursday. “You grow jobsby investing in our peopleand creating more collegegraduates who create busi-nesses, who find new discov-eries, who invent new prod-ucts to sell around theworld.”

McMahon has repeatedlysaid it doesn’t make sense toraise taxes on anyone, giventhe slow economy.

“You don’t raise taxeswhen the economy is so slug-gish,” she said recently.When the economy improves,McMahon said, she “ab-solutely would call for andsupport adjustments to thoseindividuals who are wealthi-er, including myself, to pay

transportation,” Croninsaid. “We all have special ed-ucation students who getsent out of district on aschool van to another school.Well, if towns have kids go-ing to the same school, andone town’s van is goingthrough another town any-ways, that van can pick upthe other student along theway.”

Meriden SuperintendentMark D. Benigni said he be-lieves there are other waysdistricts can share special ed-ucation services, such as byhiring consultants or speechtherapists to work in morethan one district or allowingstudents from several dis-tricts to participate in onedistrict’s program. Meridenrecently expanded the Ven-ture Academy, its in-housespecial education programfor students with behavioraland emotional needs.

“We’re all trying to pro-vide high-quality services forour students . . . but maybethis is a way to control thecost,” Benigni said.

Michael Belden, directorof finance for the Hamdenschools, said it makes fiscalsense for school districts tojoin established special edu-cation or alternative educa-tion programs.

“It’s more cost-effective tohop on another program,” hesaid.

Cronin concurred. “Wetalked about alternative pro-grams, alternative schools,and ways that we could lookat pooling resources withthat,” the North Haven su-perintendent said. “Thatwould be very useful. Thereprobably is some untappedopportunity with that thatwe can identify if we look atit more closely.”

“We also talked about pur-chasing janitorial suppliestogether, ways that we couldsetup a consortium to savemoney,” he added.

Cheshire SuperintendentGreg Florio believed the dis-tricts could work together inbuilding maintenance, not-ing that some of the equip-ment each district buys isused only a few times a yearand could potentially beshared.

“There’s a lot of mainte-nance things that we’re alldoing each summer,” he said.“There’s no consortium forthat.”

Hamden SuperintendentFrances Rabinowitz in-quired about partnering inthe area of curriculum de-velopment, noting that herstaff had spent the past fewyears reworking special edu-cation instruction.

After the meeting, thegroup formed subcommit-

tees to investigate potentialcollaboration and savings inthe areas of special educa-tion, maintenance, purchas-ing, and enrichment and pro-fessional development.

“If we’re all doing thesame thing, that’s an oppor-tunity to save,” saidSouthington SuperintendentJoseph V. Erardi Jr. “We’reall kind of in isolation . . . Wedon’t want to lose sight ofthe fact these are thing wemust do, but perhaps if wedo it together they becomeless expensive.”

Menzo said he hopes somenew ideas can be used in de-velopment of the 2013-14budget.

“I think there was a lot ofgood conversation and somevery positive feedback,” hesaid. “There were a lot ofnew ideas and I know I cancount on these ladies andgentlemen to follow up. Evenif we only save $5,000 or$10,000 the first year, we can’tbe blamed for working col-laboratively.”

Menzo said there has beena push for regionalization ofservices at the state level,and a report on the topic isdue out later this year.

music, which I listened to asI wrote,” she added. “That’s

how the main person shouldfeel.”

D’Andrea comes from afamily which, despite the in-creasing role of electronicentertainment in every-dayliving, remains ardent fansof the written word. Both herparents described them-selves as loyal readers. “I’drather have a book in myhands than have the TV on,”said D’Andrea’s motherMaryellen.

D’Andrea’s older brotherDominic, a NHHS graduatenow in college, writesscreenplays, and has been asource of inspiration and ed-ucation for his younger sis-ter. “He challenges me toread ‘bigger’ books,” D’An-drea said. “He is alwaystelling me that I need to readthis book and that book.

Authors the eighth-graderlisted for influence include

J.K. Rowling, Ridley Pearsonand Bryan Selznick. “Mollygoes through books fasterthan I can keep up with whatshe’s reading,” Maryellensaid.

For D’Andrea, the readingexperience is analogous tothat of writing, only back-wards. “When you write,you’re bringing a new ideafrom yourself and putting itonto the page,” she said.“When you read, you’rebringing a new idea from thepage into yourself. You canbe in Hogwarts, or an orphanrunning around a train sta-tion — the pages bring newperspectives to life. It’s verysimilar to writing. But, in-stead, the new idea is comingto you instead of going out ofyou.”

we’ve told,” Maryellen saidwith a laugh. “Teachers,friends; her brother and hisfriends at college are doing areading group on the book.”

Anyone who has attemptedto write a full-length bookcan attest to the difficultiesin seeing such a large projectfrom beginning to end. Foryounger writers — or those ofany age — looking to mirrorD’Andrea’s productivity andsuccess, she has this advice:

“Just express yourself,”she said. “You don’t exactlyhave to be yourself. You cando whatever you want whenwriting, whatever your heartdesires.”

“Don’t give up,” she contin-ued. “No matter how manytimes you hit writer’s block,you can move past it.”

D’Andrea said that NorthHaven Middle School lan-guage arts teacher ElizabethAnaclerio provided valuablesupport and influence.NHMS Principal Phillip Piaz-za ordered a copy of the stu-dent’s book a week ago and isalready 50 pages in.

“I’ve been watching herwrite for some time now.She’s been working on herwriting during lunches, al-ways scribbling away in hernotebooks,” he said. “To seethis book come to fruition isamazing.”

“I think this book shows somuch promise for her,” Piaz-za continued. “As I’ve beenreading her book, I have tokeep reminding myself thatshe’s in just eighth grade. It’san amazing accomplishment.This school is so proud of her.Now we’re trying to showeveryone what we alreadyknew about Molly. Which isthat she is a great kid with alot of talent.”

Besides writing, D’Andreaalso excels at Taekwondo,and is working on achievingher second-degree black beltwhile preparing for the 14thannual Connecticut Taek-wondo Open Championship.

“We’re amazingly proud ofher,” said her father Michael.“With her, we’re just alongfor the ride.”

line. “I had an inch-widebinder. I got the idea from mybrother’s screenwriting,” shesaid. “It has multiple tabs,like a tab for ideas. It helpskeep me on track.”

“You get stuck when writ-ing so many times,” sheadded. “I think that’s why Ilike to have a lot of stuff sortof planned out ahead of time.That way I can look at what’sgoing on now in my writing,and where I plan on going,and then can figure out howto connect them.”

For additional help whencreatively stumped, D’An-drea turns to those who knowher best. “When I’m upagainst a real tough case ofwriter’s block, sometimes I’lljust stare at the computerscreen and hope the wordswill come to me,” she said.“But that hardly ever works.So I’ll ask friends for advice,because they aren’t the onesstuck. My friends have been abig influence for this. Mymom and dad, too. They’ve allhelped make this book flowcorrectly, and helped me getunstuck.”

Her parents, Maryellenand Michael, also assistedwith the editing process, alengthy exercise in revisionwhich D’Andrea called“nerve-wracking.”

Upon finishing a first draftof Shattered Ones, the eighth-grader sought a self-publish-er. Using Google, she and herparents found the North-Car-olina-based company Lulu.“After we found a number ofgood reviews for Lulu, wesent my manuscript in,”D’Andrea said.

Now, through Lulu, Shat-tered Ones will soon be avail-able on BarnesAndNoble.com and Amazon.com, andalready has its own Interna-tional Standard Book Num-ber. The novel already is pur-chasable on Lulu.com, inhardcover and paperback,and has sold 20 copies thusfar.

Geography’s scope ex-pands not only as we learnmore about the world butalso as our perspectivechanges. The known worldof prehistoric people, for ex-ample, was considerablysmaller than that of educat-ed Europeans living 500years ago. Today, we can seethe earth as a whole in satel-lite images. From space, itresembles a fragile Christ-mas tree ornament, smallenough to cup in a hand.

ture. Even regional events— a miners’ strike, a goodharvest, the building of ahighway — often have far-reaching effects. One of themost valuable things geog-raphy can give us is an un-derstanding of the globalconsequences of events atparticular places.

The study of geographygives us the opportunity toexplore the “how” and“why” of our planet — itsprocesses and interrelation-ships — as well as the“where.” Geography is fun,exciting, and, most impor-tant, it is necessary to learn

about the peoples and cul-tures of our world. Lastly, itreaffirms a positive commit-ment to nurturing thought-ful, learned, productive, andappreciative citizens of to-morrow’s world.

Besides extending existingtax cuts, McMahon’s plan alsocalls for reducing the middle-class tax rate from 25 percentto 15 percent. Her campaignsaid that would help a familyof four with an annual in-come of $125,000 to save $500 amonth.

Murphy campaignspokesman Eli Zupnick saidMcMahon says she supportscutting taxes for the middleclass but her plan to continuethe reductions for the wealthy“would threaten the deduc-tions middle-class families de-pend on and end up actually

increasing their overall tax-es.” John Dunham, owner ofthe New York-based economicconsulting firm that scoredMcMahon’s economic plan,said that when it is consid-ered in its entirety, it is“slightly revenue positive.”

The scoring did not takeinto account, however, McMa-hon’s support for extendingthe payroll tax reduction, hesaid.

Another tax cut set to ex-pire is the higher exemption,or patch, from the alternativeminimum tax, which was cre-ated in 1969 to preventwealthy taxpayers from avoid-ing paying taxes and now af-fects a broader spectrum offamilies. Murphy supportsextending that patch whileMcMahon’s economic plancalls for repealing it.

CommentaryAn Ounce of Prevention

Apples, pumpkinsand bees

By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH

Symbols of fall that cometo mind: colorful leaves, ap-ples, pumpkins and cornmazes. An outing to an or-chard or farm in the autumnsun is a favorite activity forpeople and families. Reachingup to that branch of the appletree and taking a bite of thatsweet, crisp fruit is a joyfulexperience, long-rememberedby a young one and still excit-ing to us older ones. Butwatch out! There are othercreatures which enjoy the ex-perience as much as you do.They fill the fields and farms,buzzing about their work. Asthe apple they are working ongets picked, they seek revengeon the nearest human sur-face.

Bee stings can be quitepainful. For most people, abee sting will cause pain atthe site of the sting and a lo-cal reaction that may includeitching, some swelling at thesite and redness. Ten-to-fif-teen percent of those stungmay have a larger local reac-tion which can last up to 10days. But for one-to-three per-cent of the adult population(and less than one percent of

children), bee stings can belife-threatening.

People who know that theyare allergic to bee stings usu-ally carry medication to takeif stung. If you are allergic tobee stings, you should alwayscarry the medication withyou, especially at outdoorevents, as well as wear a med-ical bracelet that will let oth-ers know about your allergy.People who don’t know thatthey are allergic will not haveemergency medications avail-able. A severe allergic reac-tion (called anaphylaxis) to abee stings may have one ofmore of these symptoms:nausea, shortness of breath,wheezing or difficulty breath-ing, swelling of the lips orthroat, a feeling that theirthroat is closing, dizziness,confusion, rapid heartbeat, orhives. If the person who hasbeen stung experiences any ofthese symptoms, seek imme-diate medical help.

enue to residential and busi-ness mixed use. The writerhad serious reservationsabout changing this area but Ihave to ask: When was the lasttime you were here?

Since the closing of Pratt &Whitney, this area of town hasbeen a string of vacant lots,and vacant store fronts, withvirtually no signs of life. Nowthat Quinnipiac moved in, I,for one, am looking forward torevitalization in this area.More shops, more restau-rants, more people. Sure,

there will be more traffic andyes, more people, but that’show the town will grow andprosper. I can only imaginewhat prospective students andparents think when they drivedown Washington Avenuenow to visit the school and seethe vacancies.

Instead of dwelling on thenegative, and traffic issues arenot insurmountable, think ofall the positives this will meanfor upper Washington Avenueand all of North Haven.

Commentary

It’s up to you whatbooks you read

Budget busters

By Jeffery Kurz

I don’t have a lot of self-imposedrules, because I figure there are al-ready enough rules in the worldwithout my getting persnicketyabout it, but one I’ve always triedto follow is you read the book first,then see the movie.

To do it the other way aroundrobs the imagination of opportuni-ty, which I generally think of asthe “Fantasia” effect. Because ofthat movie I can no longer listen toBeethoven’s “The Pastoral Sym-phony” without seeing those cutelittle cartoon centaurs and cupidsor hear “The Sorcerer’s Appren-tice” without having MickeyMouse pop into my head.

Thanks, Disney!There are, of course, exceptions

to every rule, even of the self-madevariety, and when it comes to 007,for example, I’d recommend goingstraight to the Bond movies.

Generally, however, you want togive your mind an opportunity towork, which is why it’s better toread first and watch later. When Idecided to see “The HungerGames,” a weird, disturbing storyabout children who fight to thedeath in a game, I made sure toread the book first. Movies aregreat but they can’t beat wordswhen it comes to interaction withthe mind.

It’s that unique interaction thatcan make books so powerful, andalso threatening, and I noticed that“The Hunger Games” is third on

the 2011 list of the top challengedbooks.

This is the 30th year the Ameri-can Library Association has pre-sented a top-10 list, to help remindus that our liberty to choose is notsomething to take for granted. Theassociation has an office of intel-lectual freedom that receives no-tices from schools, libraries andthe media about efforts to censorbooks and uses it to help promoteBanned Books Week, which justhappens to be this week.

If you visit the association web-site, at ala.org, you can find allsorts of lists of books that havefaced challenge or outright censor-ship, and they add up to a prettygood recommended reading list.

There are what you could callthe usual suspects, books that havea way of getting at least some peo-ple bent out of shape. Banned andchallenged books include the topnovels of the 20th century, includ-ing: “The Great Gatsby,” “To Kill aMockingbird,” “The Catcher in theRye,” “Ulysses,” “The Color Pur-ple,” “The Lord of the Flies,”“1984,” “Brave New World,” “AFarewell to Arms.”

Offensive language is an oftencited reason why a book faces chal-lenge.

“The Hunger Games” and “TheGreat Gatsby” have faced chal-lenges for reason of offensive lan-guage.

The immensely popular Harry

By Kyle Swartz

It’s startling. Connecticut’scomptroller recently concurredwith the state’s Office of Policy andManagement’s estimation that Con-necticut faces in the 2013 budget adeficit of nearly $30 million. Con-sidering the extensive efforts ofGov. Dannel P. Malloy and his fellowlegislators to deal with prolongedeconomic problems, this is especial-ly troubling. However, the reportedmain cause behind financial short-fall is no sign of leadership failure,but instead indicates that GeneralAssembly must soon tackle amongthe thorniest political issues today— welfare reform.

The comptroller’s grim findingsdo come with silver linings. Thestate could still reach its projectedrevenue numbers. As Malloy basedmuch of his economic recoveryplan on doing such, this shows hispast fiscal plans were effective.With state coffers expected to besignificantly insufficient, though,simply raising revenue clearly hasnot been enough to address the en-tire deficit-causing dilemma.

According to a New Haven Inde-pendent article, the prime factorleading to Connecticut’s $30 millionin red ink is also one behind finan-cial issues on a countrywide scale— Medicaid. Commendably setupto provide people in need — like theimpoverished or handicapped —with health services, Medicaidjoins Social Security, Medicare andsimilar American “safety-net” pro-grams which have ballooned in gov-ernmental costs. That even ourpresidential candidates have not

yet proffered palatable strategies totrim these expenses speaks to justhow difficult determining solutionswill be.

An economy is made up of manymoving parts. The failure of one as-pect affects the rest. In the last fis-cal quarter, personal incomegrowth slowed in Connecticut,dropping the state’s income growthranking from 13th highest national-ly to 34th. As household budgetsshrink, increasing numbers of citi-zens become eligible for, and join,Medicaid. Adding over 1,700 newclients in August alone, Medicaidenrollment has expanded to an un-sustainable degree. By 2013, fore-casts have the service running ap-proximately $100 million over budg-et in Connecticut (about half ofwhich will be offset by a federalgrant).

This is happening on the nation-al scale, too. Both major politicalparties lack a reasonable response.One side has offered little in termsof direct, substantive answers forsafety-net modifications, and in-stead continuously suggests raisingrevenues. The other seeks unneces-sarily massive budget reductions towelfare services. This would crip-ple programs that help millions ofindividuals who, through no faultof their own, find themselves in im-possible circumstances. As a globalleader in humanitarianism, itwould be unacceptable for Americato abandon its citizens most inneed.

The answer — nationally and inConnecticut — lies in the middle.

Tough matchups in week sixBy Ed Tantorski

Special to The Citizen

North Haven Youth Football teams faced offagainst tough opponents in week-six action.

The eighth-grade team (4-1-1) downed a toughWallingford squad, 22-0. North Haven took the leadand on a Tommy Dodge 23-yard run in the secondquarter and never relinquished their advantage.After a Kyle Mellilo fumble recovery, Dodge tookthe ball in from the 5-yard line. Colin Finkle’s 2-point kick made it 14-0 at half. Dodge sealed thevictory with his third touchdown of the day on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter. North Haven’s de-fense was tenacious all day. CJ Somma, BowenBrennan, Paul Murray, Henry Pearson and VinAnastasio led the defensive effort. The line play ofMatt Acciardo, Jack Hildebrant, Ian Segal andBrandon Ellis led the offense. Max Sullivan addedtwo fumble recoveries.The Indians will play Sat-urday night at 7 p.m. at Vanacore Field againstManchester.

North Haven’s seventh-graders dropped theirfirst game, 6-0, of the season with a hard-fought ef-fort against Madison on Sunday. Madison took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter for the only score ofthe game. The Indians did move the ball into Madi-son territory in the final minutes but failed toscore. North Haven’s defense — led by Eddie Tosa-do, Christain Somma, Mark Montano and JoeyGargano — held Madison at bay for most of thegame. Maroon and White will host Guilford thisSunday in their final game of the season, with achance to lock in the 2-seed for the playoffs with awin.

The sixth-grade squad (3-3) defeated Branford,26-7. Alex Ciaburro scored on runs from 55 yards

and 30 yards, while Noah Pastor scored on a 50-yarder. Vinny Depalma capped off the scoring onan 8-yard touchdown run. The defense was led byKevin Anasulis, Michael Collins, Ben Fisher, EliDoheney, Kevin Spencer, Anthony Bello, VinnyVigliotti and Devan Brockamer.

Fifth-grade Indians played a tough Madisonteam, but came out on top, 7-6. Ethan Okwuosa hadthe only touchdown and the extra point in thefourth quarter to put North Haven up 7-0. With 33seconds left in the fourth quarter, Madison threwa long pass to score their only touchdown. Madi-son tried for the extra point with a run up the mid-dle, but was met by Joe Ranciato and Noah Peril-lie, who stopped the extra point. The whole fifth-grade North Haven football team played as a teamand every one of them played hard and put it allout on that field on Sunday.

North Haven fourth-graders (2-3-1) lost to atough Southington team (6-0), 37-12 on the road inweek six. After falling behind 13-0 at halftime, An-thony Rapuano scored early in third quarter forNorth Haven, closing the gap to 13-6. Southingtonscored again, expanding its lead to 19-6. NorthHaven did not quit and fought back with a drivecapped off with a touchdown run by Zack Peters,making the tally 19-12. North Haven then recov-ered an onside kick and drove to the Southington25-yard line early in the fourth quarter. A fumbleended that drive, however, and Southington ex-panded its lead. The Indians were aided by strongefforts by Gino Schiavo, David Pace, Joe Piper, andJoey Masucci. North Haven will play at homeagainst Cheshire B (2-4) this Saturday.

“Jalon has been capable ofbeing explosive all season,and has shown flashes of itbefore,” Sagnella said. “Butearlier in the season, he wasmaking plays without theblocking being there.Against New London, theblocks were there.”

“I’ve said before that thisis an inexperienced line,” headded. “Not anymore. It’shalfway through the season.This line has become experi-enced.”

Like North Haven, NewLondon lost in the Class Lquarterfinals in last year’sConnecticut high school foot-ball postseason. Members ofdifferent leagues, the twoteams only played this regu-lar season because Sagnella

needed to fill an open spot onhis schedule, and contactedNew London.

“They’re a good program.They’ve had a storied histo-ry of success,” Sagnella said.“I was hoping to fill our openspot with a challenging oppo-nent, as we always do. Ithought it’d be an interestingmatchup. The differentleagues don’t normally havea lot of interaction.”

A team sporting an aerialattack, New London passedits way to a 7-0 lead by thefirst quarter’s conclusion.White then peeled off rush-ing touchdowns of 1, 75 and46 yards to hand NorthHaven a 19-7 lead by half-time.

The Whalers battled back,and had opportunity to pullclose at the beginning of thethird quarter by advancing

to the Indian 1-yard line.But a costly fumble gave

the ball back to Maroon andWhite.

“New London had threeturnovers, and we didn’t ex-actly capitalize off of them,but the one that sticks out inmy mind was their fumblenear the end zone,” Sagnellasaid. “That would have cutour lead to one score. In-stead, the fumble stoppedtheir drive. That turnovercertainly helped us.”

On New London’s follow-ing possession, they againreached the red zone, but astingy NHHS defense pushedthem out of scoring range.

White then uncorked a 60-yard run to put his team up27-7.

The Whalers never gotback within a single score. Inhanding New London its

first loss of 2012, the Indianshad leads of 34-14 and, final-ly, 34-20.

For NHHS, Ethan Suracirushed for a touchdown atthe end of the third, and thenWhite found the end zone fora fifth time: a 12-yarder earlyin the fourth.

“I have been happy withthe general progress of ourteam. From the preseasonuntil now, we have been get-ting better in all facets of thegame,” Sagnella said. “Yet,we still haven’t played a per-fect game. We can certainlyget better. There are some ar-eas we need to improve ondefense. There were somemistakes that came fromhaving such young defend-ers. There will be some grow-ing pains.”

Next up for North Haven,in a home game tonight, is a

more familiar foe: HillHouse.

“They remind me of NewLondon, in that they canstretch you all over thefield,” Sagnella said “OnlyNew London did thatthrough the air. Hill Housecan do that with their run-ning game. They’re veryphysical, athletic, and havegood team speed.”

“Hill House is an option-run team,” he continued.“They make you defend thewhole field with the run.They have the personnel todo that. It will take a great ef-fort on the defensive side forus to beat them.”

BeesContinued from page 14

There are lots of folk reme-dies for treating bee stings, in-cluding meat tenderizer orbaking soda pastes applied tothe site or rubbing the areawith an aspirin. The FDAConsumer Health Informa-tion website recommends:

— Remove the stinger witha side-to-side scraping motionwith a straight-edged objectlike a credit card or the backof a knife. (It does not recom-mend using a tweezers as thatmay push more venom- thebee’s poison- into the skin.)

— Wash the area with soapand water.

— Apply ice or another typeof cold compress to relieve thepain.

— Some other sources statethat a pain-reliever (such asacetaminophen) may helpwith discomfort and a topicalantihistamine cream (like aBenedryl-type product) mayhelp to relieve itching.

Actions you can take to re-duce your chance of gettingstung include:

— If you see two or moreyellow jackets near theground, you may be near anunderground nest. Stay awayfrom the area.

— Trim hedges in lateevening or on cool, overcastdays when stinging insectsare less active.

— Wear shoes. Stepping oninsects is a common cause ofbites.

— Avoid orchards whenfruit is fermenting.

— Avoid wearing bright col-ors, which attract bees.

— Don’t wear aftershaves,perfumes, or other stronglyscented products at outdoorfunctions. This attracts in-sects.

— If a stinging insects

lands on you, remain calm.Accidental pressure on an in-sect’s body can provoke asting. Walk away from groupsof bees calmly.

— Watch your drink whenyou are outdoors. Bees (andother stinging insects) are at-tracted to sweet drinks andmay land in yours.

— Move garbage and trashcans away from the people atyour outdoor event.

— Insect repellents will nothelp with bees or other sting-ing insects. But they will helpto prevent tick and mosquitobites, which is important toprevent Lyme disease andWest Nile Virus.

Bees can be a real nuisanceat picnics. Keep the foods onthe serving table covered asmuch as possible. To movebees away from your eatingarea, you can try this old-wives’ trick: Take a piece offish dipped in honey and tie itin a tree near your outdoorevent. Place a bucket of soapywater under it. It is recom-mended that you start thisprocess a few days before yourevent, but this might attractlarger pests — like raccoonsand bears! So it might be bestto do it early on the day of theevent and during the event.There are no guarantees thatthis will work, but it is notlikely to harm anyone, either.

For free written informa-tion on stinging insectsand/or allergic reactions, resi-dents can call the Quinnipi-ack Valley Health District at(203) 248-4528 or request infoonline at qvhd.org

BooksContinued from page 15

Potter series is at the top ofthe list of challenged booksin the 2000-2009 decade.

Number 13 on that list isthe Captain Underpants se-ries, also very successful. In2005, when Captain Under-pants was in the top-10 list, Iwrote about how author DavPilkey had grown up with

DeficitsContinued from page 15

Either additional revenue, orfiscal austerity, on its own isnot enough. New moneymust be brought in to closebudget gaps. Funding solu-tions for expensive, but nec-essary, “safety net” programsmust be achieved. Americansneed more jobs and higherincome. Lowering taxes canincrease income growth. Yet,

what today we’d call atten-tion deficit hyperactivitydisorder, and about how hisbooks were aimed at youngreaders intimidated by longchapters and uninterruptedprint.

Now you might balk at astory about a school princi-pal transformed by mischiefinto Captain Underpants, ordecide that your child isn’tready for a title like “Cap-tain Underpants and the

Perilous Plot of ProfessorPoopypants.”

What’s important is thatit’s not up to somebody orsome entity who wants tokeep it out of the library orbookstore or wherever.What’s important is that thechoice is yours.

appropriately raising gov-ernment funds can supportpro-jobs legislation to helptaxpayers attain employmentwhich provides income. Theoptimal solution is to negoti-ate expansive legislativeagreements combining thebest features of all thesestrategies.

To accomplish this her-culean feat, politicians ofevery stripe need to resistpartisan inclinations. Con-gressional rancor and grid-
